"I'm a freewheeling flower-child falling down the stairs constantly." — Ben Hopkins

It's our responsibility to cater to the needs of people who come and enjoy our work who have the same values we do. We're not trying to change the world. We're just sort of trying to deal with our specific lens of performance.

I think that when you're queer, you grow up with these kinds of men who might have made you feel small because of who you are. They could be part of your family, or somebody on the street, or a teacher.

The most radical thing about our lives is getting to be in a visibly filled-out queer crowd every night.

When you're a queer person put in the spotlight, you're supposed to have all the answers.

I think the earnestness of what we're saying and what other bands like us are totally saying - or other queer bands - is 'We exist.'

People who pigeonhole us for our queerness are not people I'm interested in knowing. They're so boring. How dare you be so boring? Grow up. Get some Ray-Bans.

PWR BTTM fans dress up better than we do.

There is power in organization. There is power in a community. People have always wanted to destroy communities.
